Mass-Casualty Triage Training for International Healthcare Workers in the Asia-Pacific Region Using Manikin-Based Simulations

The authors discuss the use of ‘manikins’ to train a multidisciplinary group of health professionals from across the Asia-Pacific region in primary triage in what they note was an “effective and culturally-sensitive” manner. Participants “strongly agreed that manikin-based simulation improved their understanding of triage, and should be used to teach principles of primary triage and treatment.”
